Gold doesn't really flake off that easy though, see: gilded old buildings. Survives acid rain and other rubbish just fine. I am pretty sure it can take a bit of distilled water.

Silver block tarnishes, and will be a pain to clean. Gold doesn't.

The plating quality depends solely on the process/operator, and going by EKs history...

Show me a silver block tarnished on the inside. Shit, show me a silver block! :laugh:

This block isnt for you. We get it :toast:

Cuplex Kryos XT 925 Silver edition, DD TDX silver.

The 7.5% Copper will cause tarnishing, since pure silver is quite soft.

From other forums, it seems that silver doesn't offer much improvement at all compared to copper, and costs a lot more. At least gold is shiny.
